Engine paint
Has anyone ever used Dupli-Color Engine Enamel to paint their engine? One label says "Chev. Orange and the cap says Chevrolet Orange-Red-DE1607"
Is this the orange we all know or is it more red?
Where can I get a better orange paint for the engine locally?
TIA,
peter

My experience has been that DUPLI-COLOR Engine Enamel Ceramic 500° Chevrolet Orange-Red #DE1607 is slightly darker because of the red than #DE1620, but it more closely matches the original remaining orange color, probably from the heat and oils after 30 years.
